Brain surgery tweak may cut repeat operations in seniors

NCT ID NCT07549893

First seen Apr 28, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding a small step—cauterizing tiny blood vessels—during standard burr-hole surgery for chronic subdural hematoma (a common brain bleed in older adults) is safe and doable. About 30 adults will take part, and no extra scans or radiation are needed. The goal is to see if this technique can be reliably performed, not yet to prove it works, with results guiding a larger future trial.
